I hadn’t been to a movie in at least a year. I can’t even remember what the last one was. But I saw Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer tonight. I hope you do as well.

You know how it ends, so I can’t spoil that. But these comments might tell you more than you want to know ahead of time, so you’ve been warned.

The acting and production values were good, and much better than expected. The guy who played Gosnell was amazing.

They obviously used some poetic license to move the plot along, but to their credit they didn’t appear to exaggerate any of the key facts. The guy was so over-the-top it seemed like overkill just to describe it.

There were a couple unnecessary things that detracted in a minor way (I’m pretty sure that real coroners don’t hand scalpels to District Attorneys and let them cut up cadavers at all, let alone without gloves and masks). But you get those in any movie.

While the trial and key players kept making the point that Gosnell was on trial for murder, not abortion, they did make a lot of good pro-life statements. The “good” abortionist, there to make Gosnell look like a “bad” one, described a 2nd term abortion in detail, including injecting a needle in the child’s heart to kill her, evacuating the “gray matter” (i.e., brains) to make her skull collapse, etc. That’s more than most voters have probably ever heard.

Never forget that according to the Left — including the “Christian” Left — Gosnell’s only problem was killing the children a little too late. They support unrestricted abortions to the child’s first breath and want more of them with taxpayer funding. And despite their “safe, legal and rare” lies, the government really did prevent inspections from being done at Gosnell’s clinic.

I’ve linked to many things, but this is the first reblog I’ve ever done. This is the end of a series of well done reviews of a blasphemous book. Run, don’t walk, from Rachel Held Evans and her false teachings.

I usually ignore celebrity endorsements on either side, as they can be fickle or even counterproductive (though I do like to see them pop up for Conservatives, given how nearly all are Leftists). People like James Woods do a good job of articulating their views.

Kanye West’s meeting with Trump was absolutely golden. The Left is in full attack mode against Kanye now, launching all sorts of racist attacks. But as they often do, the Left may go too far. This draws even more attention to people like West, Jim Brown and Candace Owens, who challenge blacks to get off the “plantation” that the Left has created for them. I love how he calls out Liberals for their manipulation of blacks.

If people see Trump in a non-bombastic way like in the videos it can also modify their perceptions. When Kanye said he loved Trump and hugged him it made for great TV.

Democrats take the black vote for granted, which is why they now like illegals better than blacks. The Left has banked on more than 90% of the black vote for decades, and people like Kanye can chip into that – especially if people can see how quickly the Left turns on him. So the Left will freak out and attack black leaders who give people hope and acknowledge that Trump’s policies are good for blacks.

I’m so glad to see they made this. The trailer looks great. I haven’t been to a movie in over a year, but I may make an exception for this one.

Initially, the government deliberately ignored the greatest serial killer in American history. Fortunately, someone finally took him on. But unfortunately, the media did a choreographed embargo on the trial. I remember searching MSNBC and the LA Times, among other Leftist sites, and getting zero hits for his name. Zero. That is active suppression.

When I would teach pro-life reasoning training to new Care Net Pregnancy Center volunteers I’d ask if they had heard of Kermit Gosnell. Usually only about 25% had — and this was from a group of very committed pro-lifers! The media was very effective at hiding it.

We are used to seeing Antifa — aka AntiF(irst)A(mendment) — reflexively label anyone they disagree with as fascists. If the topic wasn’t so serious and if Antifa wasn’t so violent you could just laugh them off. Yeah, we conservatives are such fascists that we want citizens to be armed, we want limited government, less regulations, etc. Seriously, we were the original anti-fascists. If we used a fraction of the tactics that Antifa does it would be in the news 24×7.

I just saw this fascinating historical fact in a book I’m reading about the Cold War. The book was published in 2012, so it predates Antifa by many years. The author was describing the spread of the secret police (the NKVD / KGB) into Eastern European countries and how they relentlessly went after fascists, or more specifically how they called anyone they didn’t like a fascist as a pretext to imprison or kill them.

But in every country occupied by the Red Army, the definition of “fascist” eventually grew broader, expanding to include not only Nazi collaborators but anybody whom the Soviet occupiers and their local allies disliked. In time, the word “fascist,” in true Orwellian fashion, was eventually used to describe antifascists who also happened to be anticommunists. And every time the definition was expanded, arrests followed.

So there is more evidence that Antifa and their apologists on the Left are just running the Communist playbook. They disingenuously call their opponents fascists to deflect attention from their Communism. And make no mistake: If they had the power of the KGB they’d start arresting and punishing conservatives today.

With the impending confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court Justice there is more talk than usual about abortion, and that will only increase from here. Are you you ready to respond to people graciously when they make bad pro-abortion arguments?

The arguments are varied, but the most common ones are easy to refute. For example, they love to play on people’s emotions and pretend that we are hostile to rape victims if we don’t let them kill their children. But just turn it around on them and ask, “So are you saying that you’d support making all abortions illegal except in the cases of rape?” I guarantee you that the response will be “no.” Then you simply say, “Then why are you exploiting rape victims to make your case for unrestricted abortions, and why do you support the Democrats’ policies of increasing abortions with taxpayer funding?” it is just that easy. Bonus points for reminding them how Planned Parenthood and other abortionists protect rapists and sex traffickers.

And when you get the inevitable “pro-lifers don’t care about children after they are born argument,” share these points.

This is a video where I teach about pro-life reasoning. I used to give this content to Care Net Pregnancy Center volunteers.
